Here is a Diagram of the Relays.

I checked this out. (Sure is easier to do in the daylight). I have something that looks like this, but it is hard to tell since it is jambed in there real good.
It is a black mounting bracket with the plugs coming in from the bottom. I see four spaces. Three of them have plugs inserted. The one that is missing? The second from the right as you look on top of it. (Second from the left in your image above.) It looks very similar to you diagram.
Looks like I might have this kind of setup. One thing that is curious? Upon closer inspection, the space mentioned earlier where I believe I am missing a 60V fuse (space T) has no metal connection points...no metal to make the fuse connection. If I do indeed have this trailer relay, I should also have a 60A fuse, third space from the bottom, correct?
I appreaciate you staying with me on this.
Chris
PS: I wanted to add, I found an image of my Multi-Tow Adapter in case you wanted to get a visual on it.

Thanks subford-
That helps quite a bit. So, since the only thing I have left to wire are these four from that goofy round adapter, I just have to splice into the:
Blue (electric brakes)
White (ground)
Red or possible dark orange (Probably Auxillary/Battery Charge?)
Black or possibly dark brown with a green stripe (Backup Lamps?)
I will try and test these before cutting them to pieces.
Thanks again! I hope this works and that I can repay you somehow.
Sincerely,
Chris
PS: I plugged my brake controller in as I was mounting it. It came on and cycled like it was supposed to. Of course, with no trailer hooked up, I wouldn't get a complete reading, but I did get power!

Wanted to chime in and say thanks for your help. I got this taken care of. I couldn't figure out why none of the fastory harnesses were matching up. Turnes out, there was a second, hidded adapter that was mixing me up. I ordered the stock seven-pin adapter and installed in in about 15 minutes.
Thanks again!

Did you use Part # F4UZ14A678A ?
I cant believe ford is the only one who sells this. Etrailer said the part didn't exist and wanted me to cut off the factory connector.
A couple pics of the connectors.
